Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 8 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through Tesla Fleet.

  1. 01

    Tesla control charge port

    This capability operates the charging port relay. You must call the wake up capability before attempting to actuate the port.

  2. 02

    Tesla control doors

    This capability manages physical door locks. It triggers the vehicle's internal relays to secure or release access.

  3. 03

    Tesla flash lights

    This capability triggers the external headlight flash mechanism. Use the wake up capability first to ensure the command reaches the vehicle.

  4. 04

    Tesla list vehicles

    This capability returns a list of all active vehicles in your fleet. It provides the specific vehicle structures for your agent to reference.

Capability set02 / 02

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through Tesla Fleet.

  1. 05

    Tesla trigger climate

    This capability engages the internal climate control system. It allows your agent to pre-condition the cabin temperature.

  2. 06

    Tesla wake up vehicle

    This capability triggers the vehicle's ignition matrix to exit sleep mode. You must wait 10 seconds after calling this before sending other commands.

  3. 07

    Tesla get vehicle data

    This capability pulls master telemetry including battery SoC, odometer, GPS, and internal temperatures. Always wake the vehicle first to avoid timeout errors.

  4. 08

    Tesla honk horn

    This capability actuates the physical horn. It is used to remotely trigger an audible alert from the vehicle.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Remote Vehicle Preparation

An agent triggers the climate control so a vehicle is at the right temperature before a driver arrives.

02

Fleet Health Monitoring

The agent periodically checks battery SoC and tire pressures across the entire fleet.

03

Security Auditing

An agent verifies that all vehicle doors are locked and the charging port is secured.

04

Asset Location

The agent pulls exact GPS coordinates to track the real-time position of a specific vehicle.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Tesla Fleet works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Tesla Fleet to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Tesla Fleet, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Tesla Fleet. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Tesla Fleet owners hand off.

This MCP is designed for professionals managing large numbers of Tesla vehicles who need to automate status checks and remote commands.

  • 01

    Fleet Managers

    They hand off vehicle tracking and remote security tasks to the agent.

  • 02

    Automotive Logistics Engineers

    They use the agent to monitor vehicle health and movement across regions.

  • 03

    Enterprise Operators

    They automate routine vehicle preparation and status reporting.

FAQ

Questions Tesla Fleet owners ask.

  • 01

    Why am I getting an HTTP 408 error?

    This happens when you try to command a vehicle that is in a sleep state. You must call the wake up capability and wait 10 to 15 seconds before sending other commands.

  • 02

    How do I get the battery level of my car?

    You need to wake the vehicle first, then use the get vehicle data capability to retrieve the battery SoC.

  • 03

    Can I control the car from any location?

    Yes, as long as the vehicle has a network connection and you use the correct regional proxy for your fleet.

  • 04

    Does this work with any AI client?

    This MCP works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05

    How do I manage multiple vehicles?

    Use the list vehicles capability to see your entire fleet, then target specific vehicles using their unique identifiers.

  • 06

    Why does the API return HTTP 408 Timeout explicitly mapping bounds natively?

    Because the physical hardware is in Sleep Mode natively. Invoke wake_up_vehicle and strictly wait 10 seconds securely before parsing safely natively.

  • 07

    Can I explicitly control HVAC and climate parameters securely mapping local limits?

    Yes! Utilize trigger_climate exposing logic explicitly securely passing true/false bounds natively generating outputs cleanly.

  • 08

    What explicitly determines the API structural region explicitly mapping connections natively?

    The logical standard TESLA_REGION proxy explicitly parsing na (NA), eu (EU) bounds directly over the SDK native HTTP client.
